    How willing are folks to do an all day type trip?

    I was watching The Food Network and they did this great segment on an open pit BBQ just north of Austin... does that make for too long of a day trip?

    The hill country has some nice twisties... I'm just afraid it would take too long, and with gas prices being what they are, would be rather costly for some.

    I'd be up for a Talimena run or somewhere to do twisties & see the fall colors.

    Hell, even an overnight run would be great - like the 3 Mountain Tour the Arkansas club does every fall... Meet after lunch, twisties, late dinner, hotel, more twisties, leave at lunch.

    I would be willing to meet you guys in Meunster, I'm coming from the opposite way as most of yall, so I don't know if I could do the drive before hand.

    This wouldn't be scheduled for the weekend of the 15th. It would be possibly the next open weekend after the 15th!

    I'd be interested in a Fall Trip, but the difficulty is we have an ER or SCCA autocross every weekend left in October -- including the ER double header in Mineral Wells on the last weekend of the month.

    If folks are willing to give up an autocross weekend, and are up for an "overnighter", I might suggest an Oktoberfest Run to the Walburg Restaurant northeast of Austin (near Jarrell, Georgetown). We could do a "Hill Country" run, winding up at the Walburg Restaurant. The pictures on their website doesn't make the place look all that good, but looks are deceiving. The food is very good, the beer selection is very good, and if the weather is nice, the outdoor Biergarten is fantastic! As an added bonus, the owner and his band will be playing German Music in his Biergarten (our Oktoberfest party )! We'd party as late as we wanted, then stumble to hotel rooms, sleep off the beer, and head home the next morning (or afternoon, as the case may be ).

    It's just a thought. I haven't worked anything out -- like the route or hotels or anything. Just throwing it out as a possibility...

    We did the Muenster run Mid October last year with the S2K guys it was a blast! But you are correct the calender is pretty packed for October...... Maybe November?

    The Walburg Restaurant looks cool!
